Our winter wedding reception at The Pfister was all we had imagined and more. We were very fortunate to work with Mickey Skrede and his team at The Pfister. The entire night was beautiful and seamless. The holiday decorations in the lobby and ballroom were the perfect backdrop for a winter, holiday wedding. Mickey and his team provided an exquisite dining experience for our guests. We received many compliments, on the whole evening. Mickey made sure that all of our requests were met, and he kept us informed every step of the way. We loved our wedding at The Pfister. We make regular return visits, for dinner or drinks, to re-live the memory. Thanks again, Mickey!

My husband and I got married on 5/27/23 in the Rouge Room at the Pfister. We live in California and the Pfister made it very easy to plan a wedding from out of state. We did the Ruby package and felt it was a great deal for what we got. The Pfister also arranged complimentary champagne and chocolate covered strawberries to be delivered to our room both evenings of our stay, which was such a sweet surprise for us! Everything was so professional and spot on. We got exactly the wedding that we planned for. We did not hire a wedding planner and didn’t have a same day coordinator either. We had vendors familiar with the venue. It all went off without a hitch and I didn’t need to worry about anything. The space that me and my girls got ready in at the hotel was huge with great natural lighting. You reserve it with your event manager in advance. We had it the entire day of the wedding. I had 9 bridesmaids and 2 moms getting ready in the room with me and there were 5 makeup/hair people. Not an easy feat to have a space big enough but the Pfister did it. There was ample space and outlets for everyone. The Rouge Room itself is beautiful and needed no extra decor or big bouquets for the wedding/reception. The room was so intricate that we kept it all lowkey and didn’t need to add much. It’s also a 3 min drive from the lake so we got outdoor photos with an indoor venue. We hired a van with a driver from a bus company for $275 to get us with all the fam and wedding party to the lake during cocktail hour for the photos and back again. So you do not have to sacrifice a gorgeous outdoor photoshoot just because the Pfister is an indoor venue. You can do both! It was the best day of our lives and everything was perfect.

We had our wedding September 2023 in the Imperial Ballroom at the Pfister. I cannot recommend having a wedding there enough. The day went so smoothly and everything was set up perfectly. Our wedding coordinator, Mickey, was so helpful when making decisions and coordinating with our outside vendors. The value is also well worth it. We went with the Ruby package and were very happy we did. The food and drinks were phenomenal and there was so much for our guests. The location was also perfect for taking so many great MKE photos before our off-site ceremony at our church. I would also recommend using the Wells Spa for hair and makeup and using the Orchid room. They did a wonderful job and it was a great spot for the bridesmaids to have breakfast while the guys had breakfast at the Cafe at the Pfister. The bridal suite was also huge and so nice. They even had it ready early enough on our wedding day that the guys could all get ready together in there. The Pfister is perfect for anyone looking for a traditional, downtown wedding.

Our wedding was 9/3/23 and it was one of the most incredible weekends of our lives. The Pfister served as a gorgeous backdrop to the weekend, and if we could do it all again we would absolutely host our wedding there with no hesitation at all. A few notes as to why:-Event Coordination: We booked our wedding date around 1.5 years in advance, and admittedly throughout that process there were some staffing changes that led to some miscommunications that collectively had us a bit nervous. However, in retrospect, that might have had more to do with how far we booked ahead. Regardless: Emily Kucek, our coordinator with the venue, was SO kind, SO helpful, and SO organized from the time we started working with her to our special day. We were planning from out of town (NYC), and she helped us organize everything at a distance and schedule our tasting when we would be in town visiting family so that we felt confident about everything day of. -Hotel and Event Staff: From the moment we arrived, every staff member we worked with was so kind to us and helped us with anything we could need. A standout moment was when I left my cell phone on the front desk the morning of the wedding, didn't realize I was missing it, and a kind man from the bell stand (should've gotten his name) hand delivered it to the room we were getting ready in (without judgement, lol). -Hotel: My guests, most of whom were from out of state, raved about how beautiful the hotel was, how nice the accommodations were, and the staff. As an added bonus, when we checked in we were shocked to find that our suite was upgraded to the most beautiful hotel room I've seen ever and surely the nicest one I will ever stay in. What a surprise!!! -Ballroom: We used the Imperial Ballroom, freshly renovated. our guest count was just under 100 in the end, and it was arranged beautifully to feel spacious and elegant but not at all empty. The renovations are lovely, it's still a historic beauty but refreshed. As sunset begins to happen and the soft lighting is turned on... breathtaking. If I can attach a picture I will. -Food and Drinks: Great! And lots of options to accommodate different needs for the event, the day of, and different dietary preferences or requirements. My husband and I are foodies and I am a vegetarian so really good food for everyone was a high priority, and our expectations were met. Side note: the butternut squash soup.... my god. I need the recipe. -Other notes: Emily was able to procure us space in the hotel for a rehearsal, as well as for the girls to get ready day-of. These were both perfect spaces for the occasion. Pro-tip: we ordered catering ahead of time through Emily to feed me and my bridesmaids, and it was awesome and so convenient. Really helped the day go smoothly as we didn't have to leave to get food or assign anyone to bring it in, etc. On that note, I'll close with that: our day went incredibly smoothly and everyone at the Pfister made that possible. My husband and I remain grateful and now the Pfister will be a place we are always eager to return to when we are in Milwaukee. *Note: photos attached by DeGroot Film Co (HIGHLY RECOMMEND)

A phenomenal venue for a wedding!! We truly could not have asked for a more perfect wedding at The Pfister. We rented the Imperial Ballroom for a 140-person wedding and held both the ceremony and cocktail/dinner reception there. The ballroom is absolutely stunning and perfect for a timeless, elegant event. The Pfister has everything you need to make your day perfect, and if they don’t have it, they will make sure to get it for you. The team at The Pfister handled everything from set-up to room flip to take-down. The staff were so great and made sure our guests were taken care of. We worked with Mickey throughout the planning process and he answered all of our questions, which there were many. Mickey was also present day-of to make sure things went according to schedule, including coordination of the ceremony, cocktail hour, and a multi-course meal. The food was extremely important to us and is unlike any other “wedding food” - it is elevated and there are so many options to choose from, along with a beautifully put together wedding tasting to help you choose. Many guests told us it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding! The amenities at The Pfister are also amazing! All our guests were able to book rooms in our reserved block and enjoy everything The Pfister has to offer, including the top-floor martini bar, lobby bar, restaurant, etc. Best decision we ever made having our wedding at The Pfister!

Overall there were some issues with the venue but the Pfister Hotel was very professional in addressing these when they were presented to management. The assigned wedding coordinator for the Pfister failed to show up for our final walk-through and planning meeting the weekend prior to the wedding, in addition to multiple other issues, which prompted management to bring in a more seasoned person to coordinate the final details. This person was extremely professional and made sure that every detail was handled. Mickey is a true professional who is very passionate about this role and made it a magical day!Outside of these issues everything else was handled very well:-The initial food-tasting event was a great event in itself, multiple members of management were on staff in one of the ballrooms to answer any questions and allow you and multiple other guests of your choosing to sample the full menu of options (which is very large). -Food quality is top notch and the multi-course package added a touch of elegance that our guests will not forget. -Bar service was very generous with drinks for our guests and more than willing to accommodate requests. -The venue itself is spectacular and the Pfister was able to accommodate keeping Christmas decor in the lobby through our wedding weekend of January 21st which really elevated the experience.-The staff was all very professional and did an excellent job assisting our guests and making sure that were treated very well on our big day. Overall I would highly recommend this venue if it fits your vision of a wedding. Management is very professional and the venue is very elegant. The majority of our guests have not visited Milwaukee previously and staying at this hotel is a memory that is still discussed at every family get-together.

Where to begin... I cannot say enough good things about Mickey Skrede & his team at The Pfister Hotel. My husband, family, and I knew very early on during our engagement that we were looking for a reception venue that was traditional, romantic, and that could make things seem like a fairytale. The Pfister was all of that and more. From the initial tour in Jan 2021 to the last minute emails the week of the wedding (July 2022), we were so happy with our decision. Mickey Skrede is hands-down the most professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy event planner you could imagine. Every single detail from appetizers to wine selection to room layout to late night snack options and beyond was exactly what we wanted. Every single guest and family member was wowed and thoroughly impressed with not only the overall look of The Pfister Hotel but also the professional service and friendly personality of all the hotel staff. We had many guests stay the night at The Pfister, and they definitely had a 5 star experience. The Pfister Hotel is well worth every single penny, and our fairytale wedding day couldn't have been complete without it.

My husband and I recently held our wedding reception at The Pfister Hotel. Neither of us are from the Milwaukee area, so the majority of our wedding guests were from out of town. We knew that we wanted to hold our reception in a convenient location for travelers, so we toured a few venues downtown. None of the venues came even close to The Pfister. The Pfister, in general, is very elegant and stately. The lobby is grand and the service is top-notch. Our guests were impressed by the service and the comfort of their rooms. Having our wedding in Milwaukee in November, they were also so happy about the convenience of having the reception in the same building they were staying. Our event coordinator for the Pfister was Jessica. Jessica was so helpful and attentive from the moment we met her and made our wedding planning experience enjoyable. She was extremely organized and had recommendations and tips that were invaluable. Jessica was on top of everything and would provide us frequent updates throughout the process. We enjoyed our experience working with Jessica and could not have done it without her. Our cocktail hour was held in King's Row followed by our reception in the Imperial Ballroom. The Imperial Ballroom is stunning and words do not give it justice. The ballroom is so magnificent, you really don't need to worry too much about decor. The food at the reception was excellent and we got a lot of compliments from our guests. The service was also impeccable and the bartenders were very attentive. We could not have asked for a better venue for our reception. We had an amazing experience hosting our wedding at The Pfister and recommend it to anyone who is in search of a reception venue.

The Imperial Ballroom is stunning and words do not give it justice. The ballroom is so magnificent, you really don't need to worry too much about decor. The food at the reception was excellent and we got a lot of compliments from our guests. The service was also impeccable and the bartenders were very attentive. We could not have asked for a better venue for our reception. We had an amazing experience hosting our wedding at The Pfister and recommend it to anyone who is in search of a reception venue.

We could not have asked for more! The venue was gorgeous! It has that old Hollywood, romantic feel. Everywhere is gorgeous! The service was over the top amazing! Our planner was Jessica and she made sure my day was perfect. She took care of every detail from the tastings to the day of check ins. For the tasting, holy smokes, the food is delicious! I couldn't believe how wonderful it was. When it came to day of, the butlers with the hors d' oeuvres would box people out, (very friendly and guests thought it was great) so that I could get to eat something. It meant so much that they took that extra step. The dinners were amazing. I spoke with guests after and they told me the chicken was \"life changing.\" Jessica took care of our parents and made them feel so comfortable and at ease. They were beyond impressed with every interaction from valet, concierge, everyone. I treated the moms to makeup and hair at the Well Spa there and they looked beautiful! They made them feel so special. The spa is the best place on the earth. I would live there if I could. I will forever be in love with the Pfister. It will hold a special place in our hearts because of everything they did for us and creating such a special day. I never felt that I was out of the loop or that anything was going wrong. Nothing went wrong that day and it was perfect.

Our wedding at the Pfister Hotel was truly a dream come true. When we were looking for a venue, we wanted an authentic historic venue but also beautiful for a fairytale wedding. The Pfister was MORE than we could have ever imagined. During the planning process, Mickey and Bailey were fantastic with quick responses and always asking and answering questions to ensure that this day was truly everything we dreamed. The food was absolutely delicious. And it was so great that we did not have to worry about a thing. We just had to show up. Even on the wedding weekend, there were more than 1 wedding happening in the hotel but the hotel staff made me feel like I was the only bride there. It was the most special day and weekend, and it would not have been that way without the class and integrity of The Pfister Hotel.

The Pfister Hotel is truly the perfect wedding venue - from start to finish they make the whole process so easy and enjoyable. The hotel is so beautiful and elegant, a true Milwaukee landmark. We had our wedding in the Imperial Ballroom, and it was spectacular. And because we had our wedding in December we got to enjoy their fabulous Christmas decorations as well. They assign you an event manager who also serves as a day of coordinator - we had Mickey S, and he was outstanding. From day one he was so helpful and organized, always willing to answer questions and offer advice. The Pfister catering is phenomenal, they have so many options. We did both our ceremony and our reception at the Pfister, and we also stayed at the hotel and got ready at the Wells Spa salon. Having everything in one place was wonderful, especially considering how unpredictable Wisconsin winters can be. It was also the perfect place for a winter wedding because there are so many gorgeous places inside the hotel for pictures, you won’t mind at all if you can’t be outside! We could not have asked for a better venue, I would highly recommend the Pfister to anyone.

The only thing is that we didn't want was a typical hotel ballroom. The Pfister was perfect. The Imperial Room had the character of a venue that stands on its own. We worked with Jody, who went above and beyond the call of duty. She was a wedding coordinator without hiring one. We used every vendor recommendation that she provided. As we got into the planning at the Pfister, Jody took care of everything. She was timely in her responses and didn't stop until everything was perfect. We could not have been happier with the value that we got from the Pfister. Not a single guest had a bad thing to say about their experience.

My wife and I recently had our wedding reception at the Pfister and Jody was our onsite consultant. The Pfister overall and Jody in particular were amazing to work with.For starters, our wedding was in the Imperial ballroom and it was the most beautiful venue we could have imagined. It was such a beautiful room that we actually were able to save some money because we didn’t need to spend as much on flowers or other decorations to make it pretty, it just was naturally. The service was great as well. It was very obvious that the entire wait staff was very accustomed to working large gatherings and especially weddings. I am still hearing from several of our guests about how impressed they were with the level of service that they received at the reception. The food is another thing that we still get positive feedback about from our guests. We had the beef and chicken but based on what we saw at the tasting we could have had any of the options and they all would have been incredible. Combining the quality of food with the elite level of service made the reception everything that we hoped it would be for our guests.Obviously when you are planning a wedding most of your stress comes in all of the preparation. That is where Jody was so great to have on our team. From day one she was incredibly helpful when it came to showing us the venue to laying out our different pricing options. Her level of professionalism and know-how made it very obvious that she has done this many times before. It was such a relief to have her to help us figure out details to the plan that we would have never known existed otherwise.Besides her professionalism, which was unmatched, Jody was amazing to work with. She was always smiling through every step of the process and somehow knew exactly how to mix in plenty of fun while not letting us stray too far off task. I wish I could think of more great things to say about Jody because we were so unbelievably happy with how she was to work with. If you are reading this and are considering using the Pfister for your next big event or wedding I would say that you will be very happy with everything they provide. There is not a single thing I would have changed about our wedding reception and Jody and the Pfister are the reason for that.

Our wedding suite was amazing, the other guests also enjoyed their rooms, and the staff was superb and professional. \r\rWe also held our farewell brunch here and that was very nice as well with a beautiful view. It was expensive and even though we got head count from guests, because it's the day after a liquor infused event, we ended up having a lot of no shows. As a result, we did overpay because you pay on a per head basis ahead of time for the buffet brunch, but that's not really the venue's fault - simply a downside of the pricing model and nature of a day after event to keep in mind.

Its so hard to rate The Pfister because there were amazing parts and some things I was slightly upset about. We overall had an amazing wedding and I wouldn't change it for the world. The food was fantastic, the servers were amazing, I love the historic architecture and look of the entire hotel which is mostly why we had held it there. It just can't be beat if your looking for a historical landmark. And all of our guests had an amazing experience. BUT and there are a few buts... we rented out The Rouge room and had a band which our planner knew for over 10 months, the night of our wedding the security guard told us our band was disturbing other guests and really made a big deal out of it. In my opinion we were spending a lot of money to be there on a night we had been planning for ever, if their guests were disturbed they should of handled it in another way. We then decided to have the band play longer and the security guard actually turned the lights on and told them NO! I felt like we were at a frat party and we were getting in trouble. It was so unprofessional and completely inexcusable. To make matters even worse no one ever apologized to me or even followed up to see how the night went, they pretty much took the money and didn't care if we were happy with how things turned out. Our planner was also a bit all over the place at times, I felt like she didn't always know what was going on with our wedding. I would give very specific instructions on a few things and it was as if nobody listened to me. And we lost several cards due to nobody knowing where the card box was when our planner said she would be directing everyone to where it was. So a few irritating things, mostly due to lack of planning it seems. But again I wouldn't of had it anywhere else, we love that building hope they get some things straightened out though.

The Pfister was a beautiful place to get married and they did a spectacular job ensuring my husband and I as well as both of our families were happy with everything. They went above and beyond to make sure our wedding would be unforgettable and they were extremely easy to work with. They were very flexible and were willing to making changes and work outside of the package to meet our wants and needs. I would highly recommend The Pfister as a wedding venue!

I was blown away by the beauty of the lobby and the Imperial Ballroom at the Pfister Hotel during my first visit. It is sophisticated, romantic, and ornate. For a formal, traditional wedding in Milwaukee, this is your place! Besides providing the perfect backdrop for your big night, the staff, the food, and the accommodations are excellent too!
